Naulakha Pavilion (Lahore)

Naulakha Pavilion is located on the western side of the Shish Mahal court. It consists of a single rectangular room in marble with a typical convex roof. Built by Shah Jahan in 1632, it has three openings in front, one on each side, and a perforated marble screen at the back. It is a superb specimen of extremely minute and delicate pietra dura work in semi-precious stone, with beehive ornamentation on its pillars.
